Is bullying common?
This feels kind of silly to even post about, but I’ve been playing Journey on my nights off lately just to relax and get a bit of that childhood nostalgia back. I wasn’t expecting anything serious out of it, just something low-stress to pass the time. For the first couple weeks, it was exactly that. People were friendly enough, and it felt pretty laid-back. But recently, I keep running into the same small group of players who have started singling me out whenever I’m online. At first it was just comments about how my penguin looked, which I just brushed off. But then it turned into them following me between rooms, spamming emotes at me, and making comments in chat that are clearly aimed at me. One of them even told others not to talk to me, which was weirdly uncomfortable to watch happen in real time. I’ve tried ignoring it, changing servers, and just logging off when it gets annoying, but it hasn’t really stopped. Every time I come back, there’s a chance they show up again, and it’s honestly taken the fun out of something I was using to unwind. I get that it’s “just a game,” but it still feels crappy to deal with. I've tried talking to mods and they tell me to just get offline. Has anyone else experienced something like this on Journey or other club penguin games? Is there a good way to deal with it or should I just move on to a different game orr?
